A fresh green salad with a tangy dressing helps balance the creamy texture, while roasted vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or carrots make excellent side dishes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Drain the spinach
Allow the spinach to thaw completely, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
3. Mix the filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the spinach, breaking apart any large clumps.
4. Add the cheese
Mix in ¾ cup of the shredded cheese. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top.
5. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden and bubbling. A knife inserted into the middle should come out mostly clean.
6. Cool and serve
Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before cutting into portions. Serve warm.
✨ Creamy, cheesy, and packed with spinach, this simple bake is proof that a few ingredients can create a delicious and satisfying meal.
